“…Both findings suggest that mothers who have more knowledge about babies in general and their own babies specifically were able to view their babies more positively than mothers with less knowledge. This explanation agrees with theorists' statements that acquisition of new knowledge and increasing one's repertoire of responses in new life situations is essential in maintaining emotional health (Broussard, 1976;Caplan, 1955;Cyr and Wattenberg, 1957).…”

“…Broussard developed the Neonatal Perception Inventory (NPI) to compare the mother's perception of her baby and her perception of the average baby on six specific behaviors (Broussard, 1975(Broussard, , 1976Broussard & Hartner, 1970, 1971. These behaviors include the amount of crying, trouble in feeding, amount of spitting up, difficulty with s l e e p i n g , difficulty with b o w e l movements and trouble settling into a predictable pattern of eating and sleeping.…”

Previous research findings suggest that there is a sensitive period immediately following the birth of a baby and that the contact between mother and baby is a significant variable in the development of the maternal caregiving activities. Based o n this assumption, this study was undertaken to explore whether the increased infant contact which occurs in rooming-in situations is related to a more positive maternal perception of the baby. The mothers' perceptions of their babies were measured at two days and four weeks postpartum, using Broussard's Neonatal Perception Inventory. It was hypothesized that mothers in a rooming-in setting would demonstrate higher positive scores o n the NPI at both observations than would'mothers in a traditional setting. The study was carried out in the maternity units of three mid-western community hosptals, using samples of 46 rooming-in mothers and 35 mothers in a traditional setting. The findings did not support the hypotheses. Rather, the results suggest that mothers in a rooming-in setting tend to express more positive perceptions of their infants during their hospitalization than mothers in the traditional setting; however, the differences were not statistically significant. An additonal finding was that more prenatal education as well as participation in natural childbirth was positively correlated with more positive perceptions of the infant.In recent years there has been increasing concern for the physical, emotional and social development of human infants. In particular, researchers are exploring the effects of variations in maternal caretaking on the child's subsequent emotional and physical development. Attention is being focused on the effects of such factors as the father's involvement with the mother in the birth process and the effects of mother-infant separation at various stages in the development of their relationship. The focus of this study was the relationship between patterns of postpartum contact a n d separation and mothers' perceptions of their babies.

The mothers had been recruited to participate in a study designed to evaluate the effects of televised anticipatory guidance on maternal perceptions of infants (Broussard 1976). Televised materials were designed for the purpose of increasing mothers' ability to handle the details of child care and also to reduce their feelings of anxiety.…”

This study investigated the relationship reported by Broussard and Hartner that mothers' perceptions of their infants at 1 month of age were predictive of social-emotional development at 4 1/2 years of age. The subjects for this replication study were 50 Caucasian children who were part of a longitudinal study in which maternal perception scores had been obtained at 1 month. When the children reached 4 1/2 years of age it became possible to undertake the emotional assessment. This was done during a 50-min free-play and interview session conducted by a child psychiatrist who used the same materials and procedures as in the Broussard and Hartner study. The results were that 33% of the children were identified as having problems but the relationship between problems and earlier maternal perception could not be demonstrated. The Neonatal Perception Inventory has the potential for being a very useful aid in working with new mothers, but its value as a predictor of later emotional problems is not substantiated by this study.

“…Both doctors and nurses believe that estimating potential risks and challenges and preparing the client for successful encounters with stressors that are likely to occur is a clinical responsibility (2). Research that focuses on anticipatory care, most of which has been published in the last five years, calls attention to a growing interest in the study of preparation of clients for future developmental tasks, stressful events, and responsibilities of living (3,4). However, anticipatory guidance, whether implemented as a clinical or as a research objective, has not been clearly or adequately conceptualized.…”

FVoblem solving that anticipates a client's future is a fundamental component of primary care. However, adequate models for clinical practice and for research are needed. A paradigm of anticipatory care conceptualized as an interpersonal problem solving process is used as a framework for critical analysis of existing models and for the specification of conceptual and practical bases of new models of anticipatory care. The paper addresses questions concerning problem solving for the model of anticipatory guidance presented by the American Public Health Association and the model developed by Caplan, and the models of preparatory communication developed by Janis and by Leventhal and Johnson. The questions that are used to critique existing models and to specify new ones deal with identification and specification of issues for anticipatory care; its goals, functions, and intended outcomes; appraisal of readiness to participate in and worthwhileness of anticipatory care; the characteristic features of a model's solution phases and strategies of preparation; and the evaluation ofthe adequacy of anticipatory care.Problem solving that anticipates a client's future is a fundamental component of primary care (1). Both doctors and nurses believe that estimating potential risks and challenges and preparing the client for successful encounters with stressors that are likely to occur is a clinical responsibility (2). Research that focuses on anticipatory care, most of which has been published in the last five years, calls attention to a growing interest in the study of preparation of clients for future developmental tasks, stressful events, and responsibilities of living (3, 4). However, anticipatory guidance, whether implemented as a clinical or as a research objective, has not been clearly or adequately conceptualized. As a consequence, care that anticipates the future is likely to be inefficient and ineffective, and research fragmentary and relatively noninformative.A paradigm of anticipatory care is needed to provide a framework for the critique of currently available models of anticipatory care as well as a basis for specification of research designed to identify more effective models. This paper proposes that anticipatory care be
